Sapphire's HD 4890 listed

We have noticed that one European e-tailer/retailer has listed Sapphire's HD 4890 at €199,90. The card is packed in a full retail box and we are quite sure that more retailers/e-tailers are going to join the fun.

The card is currently listed at German Notebooksbiliger.de and this e-tailer claims it'll be delivered in two to four workdays. Sapphire is currently dominating the market with lowest price as its overclocked card is also the cheapest one around as it sells for €220,91.

We don't know how far the price of the HD 4890 will drop, but considering the fact that you can find Sapphire's HD 4870 512MB listed at €140,46 and for example Club3D's HD 4870 1GB OC edition for as low as €158,57 we consider that there is still more room for price cuts, should AMD deem them necessary, of course.

Nvidia's GTX 275 is still very hard to find in Europe, and Palit's GTX 275 is still the best bet, as this is currently the most readily available, non-reference cooled and the cheapest card around. This one can be found for €213,90 and Mindfactory.de has five of them in stock.

You can find the HD 4890 listings here, and the GTX 275 can be found here.
